Severe Storms Predicted for the Lower Mississippi Valley
In the wake of a storm and tornado that hit Anderson County in South Carolina this weekend that caused $1.5 million of damage, The Weather Guys with USA Today have reported there is a severe weather threat for many southern states:
“Low pressure over Texas will be the main weather maker today, with widespread thunderstorms already stretching from southwestern Missouri through central Texas this morning. Much of the region is at a slight risk for severe thunderstorms, including southern Oklahoma, central and eastern Texas, Louisiana, southern Arkansas, much of Mississippi and western Alabama. The area at greatest risk for tornadic thunderstorms this afternoon and evening includes southeastern Texas, central and southern Louisiana and southwestern Mississippi. This storm system will also bring moderate to heavy rainfall for parts of the southern Plains, lower Mississippi Valley and Tennessee Valley. Heaviest rainfall today and tonight is expected in southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana.
As the storm system moves eastward tonight and Monday, the severe thunderstorm threat will spread into parts of the Ohio Valley and Southeast.”
The National Weather Service has stated they predict the severe weather to last through 3:00 am. On Monday, however, strong winds and hail are predicted.
